The place was perfect for a brief stay before our flight, as it is conveniently located near the airport and offers a free shuttle. The driver was very helpful and made our arrival in Kigali smooth and easy.

Enjoyed my short stay. However the single room (this specific room) was small and was a little stuffy because of the lack of fans or AC. There was some noise above the room from the restaurant. Other than these my stay was great. Breakfast was lovely, the staff was very hospitable and the airport shuttle was so helpful. Really appreciate the care they put into the experience of my stay. I’ll recommend Velvet Suites again.

Staff were responsive and helpful. Airport shuttle is convenient, prompt, and clean. Checkout is early at 11:00 am but extensions are available. Breakfast was hot and delicious with good variety. Rooms were updated and immaculate. Management is onsite and were invested in providing the best experience for guests.

This hotel was way better than I expected! The entire place was spotless, there was an outside security guard, the room was immaculate with comfortable beds, and the staff all was friendly and helpful. They bring you a delicious breakfast to your outside personal patio. Don't let the low price deceit you!

Another brief stay while using the airport. The hotel is great for a stopover - clean and easy to get to and a free car transfer service is available. The neighbourhood isn't anything special.

This was the absolute worst hotel experience I have ever had. I waited 2.5 hours after ordering for food and they never told me the wait would be that long they just kept saying 15 or 20 more minutes. Then I found out they had to go to the store to but the food since the kitchen was completely empty. Then I found a bed bug in my room and they refused to believe me until I killed it and showed them. They switched me to another room and in the middle of the night I woke up to a memberof the staff entering my room then claimingthey didn't know someone was in there. In the morning the airport shuttle I confirmed with them 3 times the day before was not available.
